Empty space and blank pages in PDF with page-break-inside: avoid and repeating thead and tfoot

[Daniil Gromov]

I've been using R8 version of the library to generate PDF from XTML for about 3 years without any updates.

Recently I started using repeating thead and tfoot. It works well until avoiding page breaks kicks in. When avoiding page breaks the PDF render engine can create some empty space on top of the "next" page when break is avoided. If the table is long the blank space will increase on each next page. Sometimes a whole page is injected with only 10% of the content on it.

My markup is solid and CSS in not overly complex. The issue seems to arise from the mix of repeatable thead/tfoot and page break avoidance.

I've found a few logged issues that may relate to mine, but there is no resolution on them:

https://code.google.com/p/flying-saucer/issues/detail?id=57

Can someone please advise, if this was ever fixed.

Also, what's the least impact way to get the latest code, so that I don't have to regress all my older PDF generation code?

Thank you for a great library.

P.S. I'm going to try to generate some example PDFs. I just need to wipe out sensitive information, so I will add them a little later.

I don't think they were ever fixed.  The rate of change has been very slow.  I doubt you'd have problems upgrading to the latest version.
